The laminate flooring has of course its qualities and defects but are very different from those of the wooden floor. Unlike wood, laminated planks have at least four or five layers. The layer below is made from impermeable paper which has a stabilizing function and gives stability to the structure. The second layer consists of wood particles. This layer is followed by another layer of paper, which this time bears the color of the floor covering. This layer is treated with special treatments to be stronger anti-scratch t for example. The thinnest layer underneath is a laminated layer and it gives the name of the laminate soil.
